Amazon's CEO is now sharing a memo, showing some of the effects on Amazon's operations moving forward, in line with the development of the artificial intelligence arena. Sharing about it, AI is expected to increase employee productivity and efficiency in performing tasks.
This is also expected to make a task possible with fewer workers, and workers may do other tasks. Amazon asks employees to be prepared with new knowledge and skills in the artificial intelligence arena, in an effort to continue to advance and move forward.
For now, it is not stated when Amazon's workforce reductions will be implemented, and how many will be affected. With more investment in the artificial intelligence arena, in addition to technological advances day by day, it is not impossible that this will happen sooner.
Previously, several companies have been willing to state publicly that some operations including programming and development are carried out with the help of artificial intelligence, making the number of employees needed smaller than usual.
